Lastly. j911brick, you mention that the center bearing can be a bit tricky. I'm doing all the work that I know how to do myself, with my mechanic housemate helping with the rest. We weren't planning on paying any specific two-stroke professionals to do anything except for the jetting. When you say tricky, do you mean "search the forums and read the instructions" tricky, or "oh god you don't want to do this unless you're some kind of gp mechanic" tricky?

.

GP mechanic couldn't do it either. You need a crankshat specialit with lots of tooling and talent. My local guy wouldn't touch my crank. The only place I found was Falicon in florida and they wanted $100 just to take the crank apart for inspection. If the crank pins were bad, the crank was junk, which is what we expected anyway. So it was like $300 labor, and $300 for the brearings, plus $50 for a used rod. I decided it was better just to spend the extra $100 for a new crank. The guy selling the bearings can probably hook you up with a good crank repair man.

They do sell a gasket set for the MC21 but I don't think anybody has bought one so the contents are unknown. I asked about it when I started my project a couple months ago and was told a set was not available. But I now have a parts manual and its in there. For the rest the other parts you have to buy everything seperatly.

I have a good contact for parts in California. You need to check all the angles because shipping and duties is going to kill you. In the end you may find it cheaper just to buy locally.
